R2D2 Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 What do you think about to add these Features: - Delete Empty folders - Delete 0-byte-files - Delete orphaned lnk-files - Delete invalid files and folders With "invalid files and folders", I mean the problem, that occurs with robocopy, if you try to copy your userprofile and forgot to exclude Junctions with /XJ, at example: robocopy C:\Users\Username X:\BackupDrive /e It is also discussed here: http://www.vistax64.com/vista-file-managem...opy-broken.html http://ask-leo.com/why_cant_i_delete_this_file.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R2D2 Posted January 1, 2010 Author Share Posted January 1, 2010 There are lots of useful empty folders. Yes? Tell me at least one! I suggest, to make that optional and turn the option off by default. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ident Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 I have never seen the bother in empty folders. They take up no space. But if a user wants them gone then thats up to them. For test sake i just ran find empty folders and it listed 903 empty folders. Bothers me? Not in the slightest. Most of them are burried so far in my computer and places i would never go. I dont know what most of them are, and i am not going to research hundreds of folders before i delete them. Each to there own really No fate but what we make Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamin4u Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 This is from a program that finds empty folders. Warning & DisclaimerSome programs require certain folders to exist, even when they are empty. Deleting those folders may cause these programs to stop working properly. Only delete folders that you are sure you do not need. Online Documentation...CCleaner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness though it would be a pretty poor application to crash or stop working from a missing required folder No fate but what we make Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
